How can i help my child avoid infection if everyone at her school is sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand washing: Teach your child the basics of infection control which includes frequent handwashing (especially before eating), and not sharing drinks or utensils. A multivitamin with zinc and Vitamin C during these times may be helpful in prevention of illness. Getting adequate sleep/rest is also important.
